Loan : how to use the "future value" in a scheduled transaction ?

[Derrick Hudson]

Yann,

The issue, then, is the instance count of your scheduled transaction.  The instance count is not accessible in the GUI, as fa as I know.  In the XML file, locate the <gnc:schedxaction> element for the scheduled transaction in question.  Note the <sx:instanceCount> element in it.  I recently experienced the effect when I edited my mortgage scheduled transaction to reflect the parameters after refinancing and needed to reset the instance count.  Note that manually editing the file is, of course, not supported.
